WOW. Sounds like you did exactly the right things, before, during and after!

1. You were prepared, with a plan (even if it was coming to you 'on the fly')
2. Although you were obviously frightened you didn't panic (i.e. quit thinking)
4. You reached out for help when the time was right, but remained as in control of the situation as possible
4. You recognized the threat of walking right through the section of the house you thought was being invaded.
5. You were calm and firm enough to tell the 911 dispatcher "no" when asked to do something tactically unsound.
6. You decided to get a positive "take away" from the experience.

I'm sorry hubby teased you. If I had a nickel for every time I've "cleared" my empty house (dating back to when I was old enough to handle a gun and clear the house with my father), I'd be much richer today!

Having grown up in the country with the occasional "Thought we locked that door" and "something doesn't look right," I completely understand.

Well done, and thank you for sharing.
